Precautionary Procedures

Quick Installation

Electrostati c discharg e (ESD) can dam age static-s ensitive dev ices on circui t boards. Follow these precauti ons when you handle an Edge Router modu le:

CAUTION

: Do not remove th e prod uct from an y an tistat ic wrapp ing u ntil

you are ready to inspect or install the module.

Handle Edge Rout er module s by the faceplate only.

CAUTION:

To avoid damaging the Edge R outer m odule w ith ES D, use prope r

grounding techniques. Before unpack ing, you should:

■

Use a foot strap and g rounded mat, or wear a g rounded stati c discharge wrist strap.

■

Touch a grounded source just before you remove the Edge Rou ter module from the sh ippin g car ton.

This section outline s the steps ne cessar y to com plete the ins tallation of the Edge Router module in unman aged or managed ONline or ONcore hubs. If you are already familiar wi th the procedures required to instal l a modul e in your 3Com hub type, us e this tab le as a chec klist.
